HSCC Historic F1 1983

The HSCC held four more races for newer F1 cars in 1983, and attracted many of the cars that had appeared in the British Open series early in 1983, before it was cancelled, and were also being used in the BRSCC's successful libre championship. Mike Littlewood won the HSCC opener in Ken Moore's Ensign N177, then John Brindley won the next two in Nick Mason's Tyrrell 008, before John Foulston reasserted himself by buying a 1980 McLaren M29C. The grids were not large, but the level of interest was very high, with Ray Bellm having acquired a 1980 Williams FW07B, and Ken Moore having added a March 821 to his stable. A Shadow DN3B, a Brabham BT42, and a Surtees TS20 also made appearances.

The research

The results here are primarily from the HSCC results sheets, collected by various competitors, members of the public and of the press, and kindly contributed to OldRacingCars.com. Many from this period are from Allen Brown's own files, but thanks to Jeremy Jackson, David McKinney and Andrew Fellowes for generously providing many missing sheets. Where results sheets are not available, results have been taken from Autosport and from the specialist historic racing magazines that came later. Entry lists are typically from race programmes sold at the meeting.
